Ifeoma's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
Supporting Ifeoma through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Gwagwalada Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

In April I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Gwagwalada Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 44, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until April, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Gwagwalada Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Transport to Gwagwalada Cancer Centre: $125
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $800
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is transport to Gwagwalada Cancer Centre the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to Gwagwalada Cancer Centre is the biggest at $125. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you and your family, Ifeoma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going, Ifeoma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Gwagwalada.
Stay strong, Ifeoma. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Stay strong, Ifeoma. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
